Week 84 - Life в Потсдаме Week 14: День Победы


On a scale from 1-10, the number of days this week had was a seven. In case you were wondering.

This week was fairly run-of-the-mill, with the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday, which was a Tausch with Elder Cragun (a baller), and Wednesday.

Wednesday was День Победы (Victory Day), a day where the Russians celebrate the end of World War II and honor their dead. People walk around with pictures of their ancestors who fought/died in the war, and it is all very reverent and solemn. We (the Russian group) got to take part, which was super cool.

It was, however, pretty weird to be singing about Germany's defeat in the heart of Berlin!

I love you all, and wish you a good week!

Liebe Grüße,
Elder Austin Spaulding
